The Food Network is sending a crew to Brown University next week to film an annual event at the school, the Edible Car Challenge.

Teams comprised of students, faculty and others compete against each other to build a vehicle exclusively out of food and then "race" that vehicle, judged on distance traveled and speed (and one other category).

The event is organized and run by students, through the Society of Women Engineers (SWE).

The six-person crew will film the event for an episode in the Glutton for Punishment program. The show's host, chef Bob Blumer, will build his own car and compete.

The Challenge is Friday, Oct. 30, and up to 20 teams will compete.
